DISPLAY daemon.

Application filed February 28, E22 Serial To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 1, A G ST F. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Display Carton, of which the fol: lowing is a specification, in vsuch full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and usethe same. This invention rela'testo a display carton and an object ofthe invention is tov produce a satisfactory display carton which can be used for the purpose ofshowing the goods to be sold upon the counter and at the same time predueing an artistic efiectwith a lithograph cover without the necessity of act'u ally .lithographing both the 7 inside and the outside of the box, a single lithograph o en ationproviding for the ok t er decoration of the box when used as a carrying parcel, andthe same n -e 's ba g ma e e bf hen the box cover is open to illuminate the raisedcover; V It wil1 be apparentthat while the illustrati on asten applied to a box intended for carrying ofv Sardines and shows a plate carrying a number of sardines iipon, toast, that it ispos'sible to produce any de-' sired p ure. n the top a to a ap bdx for service iny'carryin any kind of mer chandise which it may e desired to advertise and sell from the original carton.

o er obj t to t e nv tio is b P ovide a corrugated hoard. stiffening to in: crease the strength of thebox and to provide means whereby, the key can openers may be conveniently stored while the carton has the. packages, contained therein under sale. 7

Another object of the invention is to pro- .vide the stiffener of s'uch shape and sizje as to rotect the carton to which this display an reinforcing is applied and may be of any desired type provided ithas a cover hinged thereto.

Other objects ofthe invention will appear as the description proceeds- An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numeralis applied to the same ortion throughout, but I am aware that tiierernay be modifications thereof.

Fig. 1 is. a perspective view of the carton with a portion broken away for purpos'es of illustration "as Y it appears with the cover raised for display purposes;

he display d iscut along the line Tout Qfth fla 1 1 a y r d hape t o j being'to provide a shape which will be suitabl in n l ieiany desired ith be usearor advertising purposes, the, present illustration beingof a plate with a series of sardine sandwiches;

order to stiffenthe package a rectanaar aempf fiberboard is placed within the carton against the (h lter edges thereof. This sleeve is manned at s and it has the arna ions ex d ng t ally.. h fsleeve-1s put in place within the carton nd then th ddi ber o r r in-I orc n which con s s 1f, a ope e d rgugh 9 .isplaeedwithin the same, and it w l be qbs' y d thatth troiigh 9 con n 9f are j ned p n s o fi rbo rdi a; er than thes'lee've8 which leaves a recess hetween the outer covering of the carton andthe inner reinforcing9 which forms a convenient receptacle for the handle ends of the ke susedtof open sardine cans,

r Thes e eys are inserted in the fiber board sleevein the same numberas the number of sardine cans in the carton, thereby providing a convenient and safe receptacle for the keys. The top being creased along-the line 3. is raised and folded along that line and the cut at 6 is then pushed out of the back ofthe cover soithat it willsstand up above the cover. Janeen 5 is then pushed down behind the reinforcing-'andthe cover in that way serves to produce a neat advertising display, though only lithographed on one side the change in position of the cover bringing a sufliciently large advertisement into view to make it satisfactory, while at the same. time the cover is not in any way weakened in its connection with the body of the carbon.

What I claim is as follows, but various modifications may be made in the construction shown 'in the drawings and above particularly described form, within the purview of my inyention. 4 i- I 1. A reinforcing forcartons comprising a corrugated board sleeve narrower than the depth of the carton, the corrugations extending vertically and adapted to act as object receptacles, and anadditional reinforcing in the carton inside the sleeve substantially of the same height as the carton.

2. A display carton comprising a carton, a cover therefor a corrugated board reinforcing sleeve extending around the inside of the carton and shallower than the carton the corrugations extending vertically to act as object receptacles. and another corrugated reinforcing; member extending" inside the sleexe at front and back and across the bot tom of the carton.

In testimony whereofl have hereunto set 20 my hand this 6th day of February. A. D. 1922. I

AUGUST F. MILLER.
